The biggest prob with arena is it is one long string.... you can only fight up, or in top 5, some back. True it goes against the grain to hit guildies, as you have to live together in arena. But most have few other guilds members to even hit, and then eventually you get where you can't move. Yeah, it's a bore, all but getting the stakes. Not sure the answer, but even if they put all realms in one, as long as it stays a long string, same thing will happen.
